# VM Boot Issue Fix
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Problem
|
||
|
|
All VMs were showing guest agent enabled in Proxmox configuration, but were stuck in a restart loop with "Nothing to boot" error. This occurred because the VM disks were created but were empty - no OS image was installed on them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Root Cause
|
||
|
|
The VMs were created with empty disks. The disk volumes existed (`vm-XXX-disk-0`) but contained no bootable OS, causing the VMs to fail to boot and restart continuously.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Solution
|
||
|
|
Import the Ubuntu 22.04 cloud image into each VM's disk. The process involves:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Stop the VM** (if running)
|
||
|
|
2. **Import the OS image** using `qm importdisk` which creates a new disk with the OS
|
||
|
|
3. **Copy the imported disk** to the main disk using `dd`
|
||
|
|
4. **Ensure boot order** is set to `scsi0`
|
||
|
|
5. **Start the VM**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Script
|
||
|
|
A script has been created at `scripts/fix-all-vm-boot.sh` that automates this process for all VMs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Usage
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
./scripts/fix-all-vm-boot.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The script:
|
||
|
|
- Checks if each VM's disk already has data (skips if already fixed)
|
||
|
|
- Stops the VM if running
|
||
|
|
- Imports the Ubuntu 22.04 cloud image
|
||
|
|
- Copies the imported image to the main disk
|
||
|
|
- Sets boot order
|
||
|
|
- Starts the VM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Manual Process (if needed)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For a single VM:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# 1. Stop VM
|
||
|
|
qm stop <vmid>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 2. Import image (creates vm-XXX-disk-1)
|
||
|
|
qm importdisk <vmid> /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-22.04-cloud.img local-lvm --format raw
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 3. Copy to main disk
|
||
|
|
dd if=/dev/pve/vm-<vmid>-disk-1 of=/dev/pve/vm-<vmid>-disk-0 bs=4M
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 4. Ensure boot order
|
||
|
|
qm set <vmid> --boot order=scsi0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 5. Start VM
|
||
|
|
qm start <vmid>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Status
|
||
|
|
- VM 136: Fixed and running
|
||
|
|
- Other VMs: Script in progress (can be run again to complete)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Next Steps
|
||
|
|
1. Complete the boot fix for all VMs using the script
|
||
|
|
2. Wait for VMs to boot and complete cloud-init
|
||
|
|
3. Verify guest agent is running: `./scripts/verify-guest-agent-complete.sh`
|
||
|
|
4. Check VM IP addresses: `./scripts/check-all-vm-ips.sh`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Notes
|
||
|
|
- The import process can take several minutes per VM
|
||
|
|
- The `dd` copy operation copies ~2.4GB of data
|
||
|
|
- VMs will need time to boot and complete cloud-init after the fix
|
||
|
|
- Guest agent service will start automatically via cloud-init
